Update: As it stands right now Five and Slick have agreed to help the Doctor with this. Slick has been battling xenos so he has bits of the critters in his possession at the moment. The plan is for him to use those bits of monster to trick the guards either by playing the part of a monster hunter who got stuck out after curfew and has found a big nest somewhere or possibly manage a few Horrible Death Rattle Noises to scare off guards. While Five and the Doctor slip back inside to snatch the boy and potentially teleport away with him. It's a loose plot as we are thinking about putting up a log to play this out.
But given the recent rumblings about body swapping the Doctor now feels he had better check on the boy's story before actually helping him get away. I mean if you think about it some one approaching a man with the reputation of a torturer to help them get away is strange to begin with! To this end during the rescue the group would like to ask the kid some questions. What is his name? Where does he live? Must be nice to be on your way back home, why you might even make it back in time for your next birthday... when would that be? The Doctor would be trying to slip in general subtle questions like that while trying to work out if this kid is actually who he says he is. He would also pay close attention to the boy himself to see, his pupils and mannerisms, to see if he too has been taking the opiates. If not there would be another question as to why that was.
Additionally Slick would try to ask the boy about when he ate/slept last and offer him a bit of food if he hadn't had much. He would also try to ask about anything the kid can tell them about the schedules of the Doxe and/or his staff and does he know any good hiding places in there? Either people-sized, or for hiding objects, as he in the planning stages of dropping a few bugs in the Palace for eavesdropping purposes.
While Five would try to ask about any interactions with the Doxe, if the boy noticed anything strange going on with the other kids or overheard any conversations that seemed odd with the staff. Did his family make a deal to get him ??? (Five's dad bought him as a baby so personal question) It's weird to have a staff made up of kids what's the deal.

Sorry this became rather long and involved.
